The Wild Rover Pub in Manchester, N.H., said to be that city's original Irish pub, has a new menu and general manager. Tom Puskarich, a
20-year veteran of the trade, and most recently the chef/owner of Z Food & Drink in the city, has updated the pub's menu and expanded the bourbon, whiskey and beer offerings. The new menu and hours is the first phase of an overall redo of the space. The chef has added things like Asian nachos, macadamia-nut chicken fries and gouda-stuffed tater tots, while adhering to the Irish flavor of the pub with chicken and sausage pot pie with Irish black pudding.

The pub was voted "Best Irish Pub in New England" in 2010 by a New England Cable News viewers' poll and one of New England's "10 Best Irish Pubs" by the Boston Globe and boston.com in 2009. Check it out at www.wildroverpub.com
